Abstract
Glucose lowering independently reduces liver fibrosis in human nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. This study investigated the impact of diabetes on steatohepatitis and established a novel mouse model for diabetic steatohepatitis. Male C57BL/6J mice were fed a 60% high-fat diet (HFD) and injected with carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) and streptozotocin (STZ) to induce diabetes. The HFD+CCl4+STZ group showed more severe liver steatosis, hepatocyte ballooning, and regenerative nodules compared with other groups. Diabetes up-regulated inflammatory cytokine-associated genes and increased the M1/M2 macrophage ratios in the liver. Single-cell RNA sequencing analysis of nonparenchymal cells in the liver showed that diabetes reduced Kupffer cells and increased bone marrow-derived recruited inflammatory macrophages, such as Ly6Chi-RM. Diabetes globally reduced liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs). Furthermore, genes related to the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE)/Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) were up-regulated in Ly6Chi-RM and LSECs in mice with diabetes, suggesting a possible role of RAGE/TLR4 signaling in the interaction between inflammatory macrophages and LSECs. This study established a novel diabetic steatohepatitis model using a combination of HFD, CCl4, and STZ. Diabetes exacerbated steatosis, hepatocyte ballooning, fibrosis, regenerative nodule formation, and the macrophage M1/M2 ratios triggered by HFD and CCl4. Single-cell RNA sequencing analysis indicated that diabetes activated inflammatory macrophages and impairs LSECs through the RAGE/TLR4 signaling pathway. These findings open avenues for discovering novel therapeutic targets for diabetic steatohepatitis.

Abstract
AIMS Diabetes onset is difficult to predict. Since decreased insulinogenic index (IGI) is observed in prediabetes, and blood gene expression correlates with insulin secretion, candidate biomarkers can be identified. METHODS We collected blood from 96 participants (54 males, 42 females) in 2008 (age: 52.5 years) and 2016 for clinical and gene expression analyses. IGI was derived from values of insulin and glucose at fasting and at 30 min post-OGTT. Two subgroups were identified based on IGI variation: "Minor change in IGI" group with absolute value variation between -0.05 and +0.05, and "Decrease in IGI" group with a variation between -20 and -0.05. RESULTS Following the comparison of "Minor change in IGI" and "Decrease in IGI" groups at time 0 (2008), we identified 77 genes correlating with declining IGI, related to response to lipid, carbohydrate, and hormone metabolism, response to stress and DNA metabolic processes. Over the eight years, genes correlating to declining IGI were related to inflammation, metabolic and hormonal dysregulation. Individuals with minor change in IGI, instead, featured homeostatic and regenerative responses. CONCLUSIONS By blood gene expression analysis of non-obese individuals, we identified potential gene biomarkers correlating to declining IGI, associated to a pathophysiology of inflammation and metabolic dysregulation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hyperinsulinemia and hyperglycemia are associated with exaggerated systemic sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) in patients with type 2 diabetes. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors lower insulin levels, whereas sulfonylureas increase insulin levels. We will test whether these two classes of antidiabetic agents have different effects on SNA. METHODS The present study is an ongoing, 24-week, one-center (only Kanazawa University Hospital), open-label, randomized, parallel trial (jRCTs 041200035). Participants with type 2 diabetes with multiple atherosclerosis risk factors are randomly assigned in a 1:1 manner to receive 2.5 mg luseogliflozin or 0.5 mg glimepiride once daily. The sample size was calculated to be 14 in each group, with a significance level of 0.05 and a power of 0.80. The design required 40 evaluable study participants. Our primary endpoint will be the change in muscle SNA (MSNA). The secondary endpoints included organ-specific insulin sensitivity measured by a hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp study using an artificial pancreas combined with a stable isotope-labeled glucose infusion, bioelectrical impedance analysis, and organ-specific (cardiac, renal, and hepatic) 123I-meta-iodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) innervation imaging. PLANNED OUTCOMES Study recruitment started in April 2020 and will end in June 2024, with 40 participants randomized into the two groups. The treatment follow-up of the participants is currently ongoing and is due to finish by March 2025. TRIAL REGISTRATION The study protocol has been approved by the Certified Review Board, Kanazawa University, Ishikawa, Japan, in accordance with the guidelines stipulated in the Declaration of Helsinki (CRB4180005, 2019-001). This trial is registered with the Japan Registry of Clinical Trials, jRCTs 041200035.

Abstract
Amelogenin plays a crucial role in tooth enamel formation, and mutations on X-chromosomal amelogenin cause X-linked amelogenesis imperfecta (AI). Amelogenin pre-messenger RNA (mRNA) is highly alternatively spliced, and during alternative splicing, exon4 is mostly skipped, leading to the formation of a microRNA (miR-exon4) that has been suggested to function in enamel and bone formation. While delivering the functional variation of amelogenin proteins, alternative splicing of exon4 is the decisive first step to producing miR-exon4. However, the factors that regulate the splicing of exon4 are not well understood. This study aimed to investigate the association between known mutations in exon4 and exon5 of X chromosome amelogenin that causes X-linked AI, the splicing of exon4, and miR-exon4 formation. Our results showed mutations in exon4 and exon5 of the amelogenin gene, including c.120T>C, c.152C>T, c.155C>G, and c.155delC, significantly affected the splicing of exon4 and subsequent miR-exon4 production. Using an amelogenin minigene transfected in HEK-293 cells, we observed increased inclusion of exon4 in amelogenin mRNA and reduced miR-exon4 production with these mutations. In silico analysis predicted that Ser/Arg-rich RNA splicing factor (SRSF) 2 and SRSF5 were the regulatory factors for exon4 and exon5 splicing, respectively. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay confirmed that SRSF2 binds to exon4 and SRSF5 binds to exon5, and mutations in each exon can alter SRSF binding. Transfection of the amelogenin minigene to LS8 ameloblastic cells suppressed expression of the known miR-exon4 direct targets, Nfia and Prkch, related to multiple pathways. Given the mutations on the minigene, the expression of Prkch has been significantly upregulated with c.155C>G and c.155delC mutations. Together, we confirmed that exon4 splicing is critical for miR-exon4 production, and mutations causing X-linked AI in exon4 and exon5 significantly affect exon4 splicing and following miR-exon4 production. The change in miR-exon4 would be an additional etiology of enamel defects seen in some X-linked AI.

Abstract
The T2K experiment presents new measurements of neutrino oscillation parameters using 19.7 ( 16.3 ) × 10 20 protons on target (POT) in (anti-)neutrino mode at the far detector (FD). Compared to the previous analysis, an additional 4.7 × 10 20 POT neutrino data was collected at the FD. Significant improvements were made to the analysis methodology, with the near-detector analysis introducing new selections and using more than double the data. Additionally, this is the first T2K oscillation analysis to use NA61/SHINE data on a replica of the T2K target to tune the neutrino flux model, and the neutrino interaction model was improved to include new nuclear effects and calculations. Frequentist and Bayesian analyses are presented, including results on sin 2 θ 13 and the impact of priors on the δ CP measurement. Both analyses prefer the normal mass ordering and upper octant of sin 2 θ 23 with a nearly maximally CP-violating phase. Assuming the normal ordering and using the constraint on sin 2 θ 13 from reactors, sin 2 θ 23 = 0 . 561 - 0.032 + 0.021 using Feldman-Cousins corrected intervals, and Δ m 32 2 = 2 . 494 - 0.058 + 0.041 × 10 - 3 eV 2 using constant Δ χ 2 intervals. The CP-violating phase is constrained to δ CP = - 1 . 97 - 0.70 + 0.97 using Feldman-Cousins corrected intervals, and δ CP = 0 , π is excluded at more than 90% confidence level. A Jarlskog invariant of zero is excluded at more than 2 σ credible level using a flat prior in δ CP , and just below 2 σ using a flat prior in sin δ CP . When the external constraint on sin 2 θ 13 is removed, sin 2 θ 13 = 28 . 0 - 6.5 + 2.8 × 10 - 3 , in agreement with measurements from reactor experiments. These results are consistent with previous T2K analyses.

Abstract
Understanding the mechanisms linking steatosis to fibrosis is needed to establish a promising therapy against nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The aim of this study was to clarify clinical features and hepatic gene expression signatures that predict and contribute to liver fibrosis development during the long-term real-world histological course of NAFLD in subjects with and without diabetes. A pathologist scored 342 serial liver biopsy samples from 118 subjects clinically diagnosed with NAFLD during a 3.8-year (SD 3.45 years, maximum 15 years) course of clinical treatment. At the initial biopsy, 26 subjects had simple fatty liver, and 92 had nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). In the trend analysis, the fibrosis-4 index (P < 0.001) and its components at baseline predicted the future fibrosis progression. In the generalized linear mixed model, an increase in HbA1c, but not BMI, was significantly associated with fibrosis progression (standardized coefficient 0.17 [95% CI 0.009-0.326]; P = 0.038) for subjects with NAFLD and diabetes. In gene set enrichment analyses, the pathways involved in zone 3 hepatocytes, central liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs), stellate cells, and plasma cells were coordinately altered in association with fibrosis progression and HbA1c elevation. Therefore, in subjects with NAFLD and diabetes, HbA1c elevation was significantly associated with liver fibrosis progression, independent of weight gain, which may be a valuable therapeutic target to prevent the pathological progression of NASH. Gene expression profiles suggest that diabetes-induced hypoxia and oxidative stress injure LSECs in zone 3 hepatocytes, which may mediate inflammation and stellate cell activation, leading to liver fibrosis. ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS It remains uncertain how diabetes and obesity contribute to histological courses of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Clinical features and gene expression signatures that predict or are associated with future liver fibrosis development were assessed in a serial liver biopsy study of subjects with NAFLD. An increase in HbA1c, but not BMI, was associated with liver fibrosis progression in the generalized linear mixed model. Considering hepatic gene set enrichment analyses, diabetes may enhance liver fibrosis via injuring central liver sinusoidal endothelial cells that mediate inflammation and stellate cell activation during NAFLD development.

Abstract
Muscle atrophy is the cause and consequence of obesity. Proteasome dysfunction mediates obesity-induced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and insulin resistance in the liver and adipose tissues. However, obesity-associated regulation of proteasome function and its role in the skeletal muscles remains under-investigated. Here, we established skeletal muscle-specific 20S proteasome assembly chaperone-1 (PAC1) knockout (mPAC1KO) mice. A high-fat diet (HFD) activated proteasome function by ∼8 fold in the skeletal muscles, which was reduced by 50% in mPAC1KO mice. mPAC1KO induced unfolded protein responses in the skeletal muscles, which were reduced by HFD. Although the skeletal muscle mass and functions were not different between the genotypes, genes involved in the ubiquitin proteasome complex, immune response, endoplasmic stress, and myogenesis were coordinately upregulated in the skeletal muscles of mPAC1KO mice. Therefore, we introduced an immobilization-induced muscle atrophy model in obesity by combining HFD and immobilization. mPAC1KO downregulated atrogin-1 and MuRF1, together with their upstream Foxo1 and Klf15, and protected against disused skeletal muscle mass reduction. In conclusion, obesity elevates proteasome functions in the skeletal muscles. PAC1 deficiency protects mice from immobilization-induced muscle atrophy in obesity. These findings suggest obesity-induced proteasome activation as a possible therapeutic target for immobilization-induced muscle atrophy.

Abstract
The quality of skeletal muscle is maintained by a balance between protein biosynthesis and degradation. Disruption in this balance results in sarcopenia. However, its underlying mechanisms remain under-investigated. Selenoprotein P (SeP; encoded by Selenop in mice) is a hepatokine that is upregulated in type 2 diabetes and aging and causes signal resistances via reductive stress. We created immobilized muscle atrophy (IMM) model in Selenop knockout (KO) mice. IMM significantly reduced cross-sectional areas and the size of skeletal muscle fibers, which were ameliorated in KO mice. IMM upregulated the genes encoding E3 ubiquitin ligases and their upstream FoxO1, FoxO3, and KLF15 transcription factors in the skeletal muscle, which were suppressed in KO mice. These findings suggest a possible involvement of SeP-mediated reductive stress in physical inactivity-mediated sarcopenia, which may be a therapeutic target against sarcopenia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We investigated the prevalence of locomotive syndrome (LS) and related musculoskeletal diseases [osteoarthritis (OA), lumbar spondylosis, and spinal alignment] in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) patients. METHODS Clinical data were collected from 101 patients (55 males; 46 females) admitted to our hospital for diabetes education from October 2018 to April 2021. Patients underwent full-spine and whole-legs standing radiography and physical measurements (10-m walking and grip strength tests and three LS risk tests). RESULTS The estimated prevalence of LS was 86.1% (Stage 1: 44.5%, Stage 2: 41.6%), lumbar spondylosis was 11.9%, and hip, knee, and ankle OA were 16.9%, 51.5%, and 12.9%, respectively. Multiple logistic regression analysis identified grip strength [odds ratio (OR) = 0.89, confidence interval (CI) = 0.83-0.94], diabetic retinopathy (OR = 5.85, CI = 1.64-20.78), knee OA (OR = 3.34, CI = 1.11-10.02), and a sagittal vertical axis >40 mm (OR = 3.42, CI = 1.13-10.39) as significantly associated risk factors for worsening LS in Type 2 DM patients. CONCLUSIONS This study clarified the epidemiological indicators of LS and associated factors in DM patients. Exercise therapy and DM management are effective strategies to reduce the occurrence and progression of LS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Primary aldosteronism (PA) is a major cause of secondary hypertension and is associated with chronic renal injury. The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in PA rapidly decreases after the removal of glomerular hyperfiltration due to aldosterone excess by adrenalectomy (ADX) or mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA) treatment and is stable in the long term. However, the effects of these treatments on the long-term renal function of PA patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is not well understood. DESIGN AND PATIENTS In this single-center, retrospective study, acute and chronic changes in the estimated GFR (eGFR) were examined in 107 patients with PA, including 49 patients with post-treatment CKD defined as eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 . RESULTS The reduction in eGFR observed 1 month after ADX in the CKD group (N = 31) was -20.1 ± 8.2 ml/min/1.73 m2 . Multivariate analysis showed that pre-treatment eGFR and plasma aldosterone concentration were independent predictive factors of the acute reduction in eGFR after ADX. The reduction of eGFR observed 1 month after MRA administration in the post-treatment CKD group (N = 18) was -9.2 ± 5.9 ml/min/1.73 m2 . Multivariate analysis showed that the duration of hypertension and pre-treatment eGFR were independent predictive factors of the acute reduction in eGFR after ADX administration. In 20 patients with CKD (N = 12 ADX and N = 8 MRA) followed for more than 5 years post-treatment, there was no further significant decline in eGFR over a follow-up period of 7 (6, 8) years nor any difference between the two treatment modalities. CONCLUSIONS Our study suggests that treatment of PA in stage 3 CKD is safe and useful in preventing renal injury.

Abstract
We report a search for cosmic-ray boosted dark matter with protons using the 0.37 megaton×years data collected at Super-Kamiokande experiment during the 1996-2018 period (SKI-IV phase). We searched for an excess of proton recoils above the atmospheric neutrino background from the vicinity of the Galactic Center. No such excess is observed, and limits are calculated for two reference models of dark matter with either a constant interaction cross section or through a scalar mediator. This is the first experimental search for boosted dark matter with hadrons using directional information. The results present the most stringent limits on cosmic-ray boosted dark matter and exclude the dark matter-nucleon elastic scattering cross section between 10^{-33}cm^{2} and 10^{-27}cm^{2} for dark matter mass from 1 MeV/c^{2} to 300 MeV/c^{2}.

Abstract
Localization of ectopic cyclic Cushing's syndrome, which causes life-threatening complications, is challenging. A 70-year-old woman showed cyclic hypokalemia and hyperglycemia and was diagnosed with cyclic ectopic Cushing's syndrome. Although somatostatin-receptor scintigraphy failed to localize the responsible tumor, fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) showed the uptake of tracer in a lung tumor. Lobectomy resulted in remission. The resected adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-producing neuroendocrine tumor had Ki-67<2% and negative staining for somatostatin receptors. This is the first case assessed both radiological findings and pathological findings in cyclic ectopic Cushing's syndrome. Subsequent FDG-PET is recommended if somatostatin-receptor scintigraphy is negative.

Abstract
AIMS/INTRODUCTION Selenoprotein P (SeP; encoded by SEPP1 in humans) is a hepatokine that causes impaired insulin secretion and insulin resistance. Metformin downregulates SELENOP promoter activity through an adenosine monophosphate-activated kinase-forkhead box protein O3a pathway in hepatocytes. This study aimed to test our hypothesis that circulating SeP levels are associated with the glucose-lowering effect of metformin in humans. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 84 participants with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes were randomly assigned to receive metformin (1,000 mg, twice daily) or a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor, alogliptin (25 mg, once daily) for 12 weeks. We tested metformin and alogliptin on SeP levels and factors associated therewith as a post-hoc analysis. RESULTS Both metformin and aloglipitin did not change the SeP levels. Although metformin significantly increased the insulin secretory index secretory units of islets in transplantation only in participants with higher baseline SeP (>3.87), both agents similarly reduced fasting plasma glucose and glycated hemoglobin. SeP levels at baseline were correlated negatively with changes in SeP (r = -0.484, P = 0.004) and fasting plasma glucose (r = -0.433, P = 0.011), and positively with changes in C-peptide immunoreactivity (r = 0.420, P = 0.017) and secretory units of islets in transplantation (r = 0.388, P = 0.028) in the metformin, but not alogliptin, group. CONCLUSIONS Higher baseline levels of SeP significantly predicted metformin-mediated, but not alogliptin-mediated, glucose-lowering and insulinotropic effects. Serum SeP levels might be a novel biomarker for predicting the outcomes of metformin therapy, which might be helpful in tailoring diabetes medication.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA) is the most serious presentation of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, the frequency and prognostic impact of CPA in young patients with AMI have been still unclear.
Objectives
This study aimed to characterize AMI in young patients who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention using large-scale nationwide all-comer registry data in Japan (J-PCI registry).
Methods
Data on risk factor profiles, clinical features, post-procedural complications, and in-hospital outcomes were reviewed within the J-PCI registry between 2014 and 2018.
Results
Among 213,297 patients with AMI, 23,985 (11.2%) were young (age, 20–49 years). Compared with the older group (age, 50–79 years; n=189,312), the young group included a higher number of men, smokers, patients with dyslipidemia, and patients with single-vessel disease, and a lower number of patients with hypertension and diabetes. Despite favorable clinical profiles, younger age was associated with a higher rate of presentation with CPA (Figure 1). Further, concomitant CPA was strongly associated with in-hospital mortality in the young group (Table 1).
Conclusions
Young patients with AMI presented a higher risk of CPA than older patients, which was strongly associated with in-hospital mortality.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a liver phenotype of type 2 diabetes and obesity. Currently, the efficacy of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and sulfonylureas in liver pathology and hepatic gene expression profiles for type 2 diabetes with NAFLD are unknown. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We conducted a 48 week, randomized, open-label, parallel-group trial involving participants with biopsy-confirmed NAFLD. A total of 40 participants were randomly assigned to receive once daily 20 mg tofogliflozin or 0.5 mg glimepiride. The primary outcome was the percentage of participants with at least an improvement in all individual scores for histological categories of steatosis, hepatocellular ballooning, lobular inflammation, and fibrosis by at least 1 point. The secondary end points were the changes in liver enzymes, metabolic markers, and hepatic gene expression profiles. RESULTS Fibrosis scores improved in the tofogliflozin group (60%, P = 0.001), whereas the change from baseline did not differ significantly between the groups (P = 0.172). The histological variables of steatosis (65%, P = 0.001), hepatocellular ballooning (55%, P = 0.002), and lobular inflammation (50%, P = 0.003) were improved in the tofogliflozin group, whereas only hepatocellular ballooning was improved in the glimepiride group (25%, P = 0.025). Hepatic gene expression profiling revealed histology-associated signatures in energy metabolism, inflammation, and fibrosis that were reversed with tofogliflozin. CONCLUSIONS Tofogliflozin and, to a lesser degree, glimepiride led to liver histological and metabolic improvement in participants with type 2 diabetes and NAFLD, with no significant difference between the agents. The hepatic expression of the genes involved in energy metabolism, inflammation, and fibrosis was well correlated with liver histological changes and rescued by tofogliflozin. We need further confirmation through long-term larger-scale clinical trials of SGLT2 inhibitors.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) activate uncoupler protein 1 (UCP1) in brown adipose tissue (BAT) under physiological cold exposure and noradrenaline (NA) stimulation to increase thermogenesis. However, the endogenous regulator of ROS in activated BAT and its role in pathological conditions remain unclear. We show that serum levels of selenoprotein P (SeP; encoded by SELENOP) negatively correlate with BAT activity in humans. Physiological cold exposure downregulates Selenop in BAT. Selenop knockout mice show higher rectal temperatures and UCP1 sulfenylation during cold exposure. SeP treatment to brown adipocytes eliminated the NA-induced mitochondrial ROS by upregulating glutathione peroxidase 4 and impaired cellular thermogenesis. A high-fat/high-sucrose diet elevates serum SeP levels and diminishes the elevated NA-induced thermogenesis in BAT-Selenop KO mice. Therefore, SeP is the intrinsic factor inducing reductive stress that impairs thermogenesis in BAT and may be a potential therapeutic target for obesity and diabetes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Recently, the standard of care for advanced urothelial cancer (UC) has been changed by developing immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). However, its response rate is limited to 20-30%. The identification of biomarkers to predict the therapeutic effects of ICIs is urgently needed. The present study explored the association between immunohistochemical biomarkers and clinical outcomes in UC patients treated with pembrolizumab. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 85 patients with UC who received pembrolizumab after chemotherapy from January 2018 to May 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Tumor tissues were obtained for immunohistochemical study from 47 out of 85 patients. The protein expressions of PD-L1, WT1, Nectin-4, CD4, CD8, Foxp3, and CD68 in tumor cells and/or tumor infiltrating lymphocytes were immunohistochemically examined. The associations between protein expressions and overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and disease control rate (DCR) were statistically analyzed. RESULTS Patients with positive PD-L1 in tumor cells showed significantly worse OS (Log-rank test: HR 5.146, p = 0.001, Cox regression analysis: HR 4.331, p = 0.014) and PFS (Log-rank test: HR 3.31. p = 0.022), along with significantly lower DCR (14.3%) compared to the PD-L1 negative patients (67.5%). In addition, patients with strong expression of Nectin-4 in tumor cells showed significantly higher DCR (100%) than the other patients (50%). CONCLUSION PD-L1 expression in tumor cells was associated with poor prognosis (OS and PFS) and low DCR. Interestingly, the strong expression of Nectin-4 was correlated with high DCR. PD-L1 and Nectin-4 expression in tumor cells could be prognostic biomarkers useful for pembrolizumab in patients with advanced UC.

Abstract
Aims/Introduction Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists (GLP‐1 RA) might be less effective in patients with severe hyperglycemia, because hyperglycemia downregulated the GLP‐1 receptor in an animal study. To examine this hypothesis clinically, we compared the glucose‐lowering effects of GLP‐1 receptor agonist liraglutide with and without prior glycemic control. Materials and Methods In an open‐label, parallel trial, participants with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes were recruited and randomized to receive once‐daily insulin therapy, degludec (Insulin–GLP‐1 RA relay group, mean 16.8 ± 11.4 IU/day), for 12 weeks and then liraglutide for 12 weeks or subcutaneous injections of GLP‐1 RA, liraglutide (GLP‐1 RA first group, 0.9 mg), for 24 weeks. The primary efficacy end‐points consisted of changes in the levels of fasting plasma glucose and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). Results The median fasting plasma glucose and HbA1c before the study were 210.0 mg/dL and 9.8%, respectively. The levels of fasting plasma glucose and HbA1c significantly decreased in the Insulin–GLP‐1 RA relay group (P < 0.001) and GLP‐1 RA first group (P < 0.001) by week 24, although no intergroup differences were observed. The reduction of HbA1c in the Insulin–GLP‐1 RA relay group tended to be larger than that in the GLP‐1 RA first group in the lowest CPR (C‐peptide immunoreactivity) quartile (P = 0.072). The adverse events consisted of gastrointestinal problems, followed by hypoglycemia. Conclusions The GLP‐1 receptor agonist is overall effective without prior glycemic control with insulin in participants with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes. However, in participants with insulinopenic type 2 diabetes, prior glycemic control with insulin might overcome glucose toxicity‐induced GLP‐1 resistance.

Abstract
Aim Selenoprotein P (SeP, encoded by SELENOP in humans) is a hepatokine that causes insulin resistance in the liver and skeletal muscle. It was found that polyunsaturated fatty acid eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) downregulates Selenop expression by inactivating SREBP‐1c. The present study aimed to examine the effect of EPA for 12 weeks on circulating SeP levels and insulin sensitivity in humans with type 2 diabetes. Methods A total of 20 participants with dyslipidemia and type 2 diabetes were randomly assigned to an EPA (900 mg, twice daily) group and a control group. The primary endpoint was a change in serum SeP levels. Organ‐specific insulin sensitivity in the liver (HGP and %HGP), skeletal muscle (Rd), and adipose tissue (FFA and %FFA) were assessed using a hyperinsulinemic‐euglycemic clamp study with stable isotope‐labeled glucose infusion. Results Serum SeP levels were not changed in either group at the end of the study. In the EPA group, the changes in SeP levels were positively correlated with the change in serum EPA levels (r = 0.709, P = 0.022). Treatment with EPA significantly enhanced %FFA but not %HGP and Rd. The change in serum EPA levels was significantly positively correlated with the change in %HGP, and negatively correlated with changes in Rd. Conclusions The change in serum EPA levels was positively correlated with serum SeP levels, hepatic insulin sensitivity, and negatively with skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity in humans with type 2 diabetes. The EPA‐induced enhancement of hepatic insulin sensitivity might be associated with a mechanism independent of serum SeP levels.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is a gold standard method to evaluate functional lesion severity in daily clinical practice. Recently, the resting full-cycle ratio (RFR) was Previous studies showed the better diagnostic performance of RFR comparing with FFR. It is well known that patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have poor prognosis. Therefore, we should carefully assess the functional lesion severity in CKD patients. However, it is unclear whether the diagnostic performance of RFR for detecting functional ischemia is similar regardless of the degree of renal function. The aim of this study is to compare the diagnostic performance of RFR based on renal function.
Method
This study was a prospectively enrolled observational study. A total of 265 consecutive patients with 373 intermediate lesions were enrolled in this study. There were classified into three groups according to renal function (Group 1: eGFR ≥60 mL/min/1.73m2; Group 2: 30 mL/min/1.73m2 ≤eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73m2; Group 3: eGFR <30mL/min/1.73m2). The RFR was measured after adequately waiting for stable condition, while FFR was measured after intravenous administration of ATP (180mcg/kg/min). The discordance between FFR and RFR were assessed the data using known cutoffs for FFR (≤0.80) and RFR (≤0.89).
Results
Of 373 lesions, the median age was 70.1±11.0 years. Functional significance was observed in 153 lesions (41.0%) of all lesions. RFR showed a significant correlation with FFR in each group (Group 1; r2=0.63 [p<0.001], Group 2: r2=0.67 [p<0.001], Group 3: r2=0.51 [p<0.001], respectively). The ROC curve analysis of RFR showed differential results for predicting functional significance (Group 1: AUC 0.88, cut-off value 0.91; Group 2: AUC 0.88, cut-off value 0.89; Group 3: AUC 0.81, cut-off value 0.83; respectively) in each group. The prevalence of discordant between RFR and FFR was significantly different among 3 groups (Group 1: 16.5%, Group 2: 19.4%, Group 3: 25.0%, respectively, p<0.05 for among 3 groups).
Conclusion
The diagnostic performance of RFR was different based on renal function. During RFR acquisition, the degree of renal function could influence concordance with FFR, and should be taken into account when interpreting RFR.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Diameter, intima–media thickness (IMT), and flow parameters, including resistance index (RI) and pulsatility index (PI), in the common carotid artery (CCA) are markers of arterial remodeling, atherosclerosis, and vascular resistance, respectively. These CCA parameters have usually been evaluated as markers of target organ damage. Little is known about whether these parameters predict a new onset of hypertension.
Purpose
In this study, we investigated the association of CCA parameters including IMT, diameter, RI, and PI with the incidence of hypertension.
Methods
This is an observational study involving 1249 participants (656 women, mean age 69.6 years) without hypertension, who underwent carotid artery ultrasonography at baseline. The participants were divided into elderly group (defined as age ≥70 years) and a middle-aged group. We defined obesity as BMI ≥25 kg/m2. CCA diameter was defined as the distance between the adventitia–media interface on the near wall and the media–adventitia interface on the far wall. IMT was defined as the distance between the lumen–intima and media–adventitia interfaces. RI was calculated as [peak systolic velocity (PSV)- end-diastolic velocity (EDV)]/PSV. PI was calculated as (PSV-EDV)/Vmean. Larger CCA diameter, increased IMT, high RI, and high PI were determined based on the optimal cutoff values from ROC curve analysis.
Results
Over a mean 5.1-year follow-up period, 524 participants developed hypertension. Multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that larger CCA diameter and increased IMT were significant predicators for incident hypertension in elderly group, but not in middle-aged group. High RI, and high PI were significant predicators for incident hypertension in both the two groups. CCA diameter, IMT, and RI predicted the incidence of hypertension only in nonobesity group, whereas PI predicted it in both obesity and nonobesity groups (Table).
Conclusion
CCA parameters assessed by ultrasonography are useful markers to estimate the risk of hypertension. In particular, PI is a better predictor for the incidence of hypertension.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Insulin resistance in adipose tissue attenuates the suppression of lipolysis, leading to increased free fatty acid (FFA) release. The excess FFA may be involved in the development of type 2 diabetes.
Purpose
In this study, we investigated the association of adipose tissue insulin resistance and serum free fatty acid levels with the incidence of type 2 diabetes.
Methods
This is an observational study involving 6800 participants (3451 women, mean age 69.2 years) without diabetes who underwent 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) at baseline. The participants were divided into the obesity and nonobesity groups on the basis of body mass index of ≥25 and <25 kg/m2, respectively. Serum FFA levels were assessed before and 30, 60, and 120 min after glucose ingestion, and the total area under the FFA curve (AUCFFA) was calculated. Adipose tissue insulin resistance was assessed using adipose insulin resistance index (adipo-IR) calculated based on fasting FFA and insulin concentrations. The homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and the Matsuda index were evaluated as measures of insulin resistance in the liver and whole-body, respectively. High adipo-IR, high fasting FFA, great AUCFFA high HOMA-IR, and low Matsuda index were determined based on the optimal cutoff values from ROC curve analysis.
Results
Over a mean 5.3-year follow-up period, 485 participants developed type 2 diabetes. Multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that high adipo-IR was a significant predicator for incident type 2 diabetes in the obesity group, but not in nonobesity group. AUCFFA, HOMA-IR, and Matsuda index were significantly associated with incident type 2 diabetes in both the two groups (Table).
Conclusion
Serum FFA levels after glucose loading predict the incidence of type 2 diabetes. Adipose tissue insulin resistance was associated with the risk of type 2 diabetes in individuals with obesity, but not in individuals without obesity.

Abstract
Sitosterolemia is caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous gene mutations in either ATP-binding cassette subfamily G member 5 (ABCG5) or 8 (ABCG8). Since ABCG5 and ABCG8 play pivotal roles in the excretion of neutral sterols into feces and bile, patients with sitosterolemia present elevated levels of serum plant sterols and in some cases also hypercholesterolemia. A 48-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for hypercholesterolemia. She had been misdiagnosed with familial hypercholesterolemia at the age of 20 and her serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels had remained about 200-300 mg/dL at the former clinic. Although the treatment of hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors was ineffective, her serum LDL-C levels were normalized by ezetimibe, a cholesterol transporter inhibitor. We noticed that her serum sitosterol and campesterol levels were relatively high. Targeted analysis sequencing identified a novel heterozygous ABCG5 variant (c.203A>T; p.Ile68Asn) in the patient, whereas no mutations were found in low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), or Niemann-Pick C1-like intracellular cholesterol transporter 1 (NPC1L1). While sitosterolemia is a rare disease, a recent study has reported that the incidence of loss-of-function mutation in the ABCG5 or ABCG8 gene is higher than we thought at 1 in 220 individuals. The present case suggests that serum plant sterol levels should be examined and ezetimibe treatment should be considered in patients with hypercholesterolemia who are resistant to HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Triglyceride deposit cardiomyovasculopathy (TGCV) is a novel cardiovascular disorder, encoded as orphan disease in Europe in 2019, characterized by excessive accumulation of triglyceride in vascular smooth muscle cells, leading to coronary artery disease (CAD). However, there is no data about impact of TGCV on vascular failure after coronary stent implantation.
Purpose
To assess impact of TGCV on the outcome following coronary stent implantation in CAD patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) as Study 1, and chronic hemodialysis as Study 2.
Methods
This is multicenter retrospective estimation consisting of two studies.
Study 1) Among 526 consecutive patients suspected of having CAD who underwent coronary angiography (CAG) and iodine-123-β-methyliodophenyl-pentadecanoic acid (BMIPP) scintigraphy, a tracer for the diagnosis of TGCV, data from 81 patients with DM were analyzed.
The patients were divided into two groups; TGCV (n=7) or non-TGCV (n=74). All patients were implanted with a second-generation DES and underwent follow-up CAG. Binary restenosis (ISR), defined as angiographic luminal diameter >50% by quantitative coronary angiography, in-stent late loss were assessed in 15 stents of TGCV patients and 111 stents of non-TGCV patients.
Study 2) Similarly, among 88 chronic hemodialysis patients, ISR and in-stent late loss were assessed in 12 stents of 9 TGCV patients and 21 stents of 17 non-TGCV patients.
Results
Study 1) There were no significant differences in baseline characteristics between the two groups. In-stent late loss was greater in TGCV group than in non-TGCV group (0.91mm [0.27, 2.39] vs. 0.15mm [0.03, 0.35]; p<0.001), resulting in greater incidence of ISR in TGCV group than in non-TGCV group (46.7% vs. 9.0%; p<0.001). Multivariable logistic analysis revealed TGCV to be an independent predictor for vascular failure after DES implantation in patients with DM.
Study 2) Similarly, in-stent late loss and incidence of ISR were greater in TGCV group than in non-TGCV group (1.20±0.99mm vs. 0.50±0.70, p=0.02; 58.3% vs. 9.5%, p=0.002, respectively). TGCV was an independent predictor for vascular failure after DES implantation in chronic hemodialysis patients.
Conclusion
Apart from existing risk factors such as DM and hemodialysis, TGCV could contribute to a novel risk factor for vascular failure, even in the second-generation DES era.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Recently, wire-based resting indices have been recognized as gold standard for evaluating physiological lesion assessment. The resting full-cycle ratio (RFR) is a unique resting index which is calculated as the point of absolutely lowest distal pressure to aortic pressure during entire cardiac cycle. It is unclear whether the diagnostic performance of RFR for detecting functional coronary artery stenosis is similar in each coronary artery. The aim of this study is to compare the diagnostic performance of RFR based on target coronary vessel.
Method
This study was a prospectively enrolled observational study. A total of 156 consecutive patients with 220 intermediate lesions were enrolled in this study. The RFR was measured after adequately waiting for stable condition, while FFR was measured after intravenous administration of ATP (180mcg/kg/min). Lesions with FFR ≤0.80 were considered functionally significant coronary artery stenosis.
Results
In all lesions, reference diameter, diameter stenosis, lesion length, RFR, and FFR were 3.0±0.7mm, 45±13%, 13.0±8.8mm, 0.90±0.09, and 0.82±0.10, respectively. Functional significance was observed in 88 lesions (40%) of all lesions. RFR showed a significant correlation with FFR in overall lesions (r=0.774, p<0.001). The ROC curve analysis of RFR showed good accuracy for predicting functional significance (AUC 0.87, diagnostic accuracy 81%) in all subjects. Regarding each target vessel, there were similar and significant positive correlation between RFR and FFR (LAD; r=0.733, p<0.001, LCX; r=0.771, p<0.001, RCA; r=0.769, p<0.001, respectively). The prevalence of discordant between RFR and FFR was significantly different among 3 vessels (LAD 26%, LCX 12%, RCA 13%, respectively, p<0.05 for among 3 groups). Regarding the comparison of ROC curves according to lesion location, AUC was significantly lower in LAD than in LCX and RCA (LAD 0.780, LCX 0.947, RCA 0.926, p<0.01 for LAD compared to LCX, p<0.01 for LAD compared to RCA, respectively). Furthermore, the diagnostic accuracy was significantly different according to target vessel (LAD 74%, LCX 88%, RCA 87%, respectively, p<0.05 for among 3 vessels).
Conclusion
RFR demonstrated better diagnostic accuracy for evaluating functional lesion severity. The diagnostic performance of RFR was different based on target vessel. RFR is a unique and useful resting index, and it may detect functionally significant coronary stenosis that cannot be detected with other resting indices in daily practice.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Recently, post pulmonary embolism (PE) syndrome or chronic thromboembolic disease after acute PE, has been recognized as important long-term complications. Furthermore, patients may develop with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension.
Purpose
We aimed to evaluate the frequency of residual pulmonary thromboemboli after acute PE by using our “higher”-resolution CT scan imaging method to detect residual thromboemboli down to sub-segmental pulmonary arteries.
Methods
This study was a prospective multi-center observational study. We enrolled consecutive 34 patients with acute symptomatic PE whose informed consent was obtained, and followed up for one year. One year after the onset of acute PE, patients were referred to our hospital and multiple examination including CT scan, 6-minute walk test (6MWT), questionnaire of SF-36, echocardiography and laboratory testing were performed. Additionally, we have modified the CT obstruction index (CTOI) to quantitatively evaluate the thromboemboli down to sub-segmental pulmonary arteries.
Results
Mean age was 60.5±15.8 years, and 56% were male. No patient was categorized as low recurrent VTE risk which was caused by transient factors, one patient was associated with active cancer, and 12% had known thrombophilia. In 85% of the patients, this onset was the first obvious episode of PE. At diagnosis, elevated B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) (≥100 pg/ml) or N-terminal (NT)-proBNP (≥500 pg/ml) was observed in 45% of the patients. Median tricuspid regurgitation peak gradient (TRPG) by echocardiography was 30.9 (19.3–50.1) mmHg. Among all, 35% of the patients received single-drug approach with DOACs. At discharge, all of the patients except two were treated with DOACs.
One year after the onset, 21% of the patient were in NYHA II and others were in NYHA I. It was notable that pulmonary thromboemboli was detected by our CT scan in 76% of the patients. Modified CTOI was median 11.9 (1.8–24.4) % as shown in the figure.
In multiple regression analysis, TRPG at diagnosis and BNP at one month were significantly associated with mCTOI (β=0.536, p=0.002 and β=−0.482, p=0.003, respectively). Additionally, lowest SpO2 during 6MWT after one year from the onset, tended to inversely associate with mCTOI (β=−0.341, p=0.052).
Conclusions
Using our modified CT scan imaging method and modified CTOI, residual pulmonary thromboemboli was able to be detected more frequently than the previous studies. Residual pulmonary thromboemboli could be one of the cause of the post PE syndrome and lead to exercise-induced desaturation.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is the third frequent acute cardiovascular syndrome in the Europe and Japan. Since direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are widely used now, the morbidity and mortality of pulmonary embolism (PE) patients especially associated with cancer needs to be re-evaluated.
Purpose
We evaluated the clinical course of patients with PE mainly treated with DOACs.
Methods
This retrospective observational study was conducted in a single center. The data were collected from the medical record of consecutive patients who received inpatient treatment of PE. In this study, we have compared PE patients with cancer (cancer PE) to those without cancer (non-cancer PE) and evaluated the mortality, recurrent of VTE and major bleedings.
Results
In total, 140 patients were enrolled: 94 patients were cancer-related, and 46 patients were without cancer (Table). The type of the tumor in cancer PE patients were as follows: gastric 8 (9%), esophageal 5 (5%), pancreatic 12 (13%), lung 14 (15%), lymphoma 2 (2%), gynecologic 17 (18%), renal 2 (2%), bile duct 8 (9%), colon 12 (13%), and others 17 (18%).
Kaplan-Meier curve showed that the cumulative all-cause mortality was significantly higher in the cancer PE group (35/94 (37%) vs. 2/46 (4%), P<0.001 (log rank), HR 10.3 [95% CI:2.5–43.3]). The cumulative incidence of recurrent VTE was significantly higher in the cancer PE group (7/94 (7%) vs. 0/46, P=0.03 (log rank)). There was no significant difference in the cumulative incidence of major bleeding between the cancer PE group and the non-cancer PE group (8/94 (9%) vs. 5/46 (11%)).
Conclusions
The risk of recurrent VTE was still higher in cancer PE patients compared to non-cancer PE patients, although DOACs were used. Meanwhile the incidence of major bleeding was comparable in both groups, the risk of bleeding might be acceptable with using DOACs especially in cancer PE patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is a gold standard method to evaluate functional lesion severity in daily clinical practice. Recently, the resting full-cycle ratio (RFR) which was newly developed resting indices was launched. Unlike other resting indices evaluated in diastolic phase, RFR is evaluated during entire cardiac phase. Previous studies showed discordance predictors between FFR and instantaneous wave-free ratio. However, it is previously unreported what predictor cause discordant outcome between FFR and RFR.
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to evaluate clinical predictors of discordance between FFR and RFR.
Methods
A total of 156 patients with 220 lesions were prospectively enrolled in this study. RFR was evaluated before inducing hyperemia. FFR was measured after intravenous adenosine triphosphate administration (180 mcg/kg/min). According to FFR and RFR values, the patients and lesions were classified into 4 groups: Concordant negative (Group-1 [n=114]: FFR >0.80, RFR >0.89); negative FFR and positive RFR (Group-2 [n=18]: FFR >0.80, RFR ≤0.89); positive FFR and negative RFR (Group-3 [n=25]: FFR ≤0.80, RFR >0.89); Concordant positive (Group-4 [n=63]: FFR ≤0.80, RFR ≤0.89). Among them, discordance predictors with clinical characteristics between RFR and FFR were compared using by two separate logistic regression analyses. (Group-1 vs. Group-2, Group-3 vs. Group-4, respectively). Age, sex and those predictors with a p value ≤0.10 were included in a multivariate regression analysis using by forward stepwise selection to identify independent predictors of discordance.
Results
On multiple regression analysis, hemodialysis (HD) (OR:6.072 [1.090–33.836]), peripheral artery disease (PAD) (OR:9.053 [1.776–46.162]) and left anterior descending artery (LAD) (OR:9.264 [2.092–41.031]) were significantly associated with positive RFR among negative FFR groups (Groupe 2 discordance). Conversely, diabetes mellitus (DM) (OR:0.212 [0.062–0.721]) and Hb (OR:1.480 [1.102–1.987]) were significantly associated with negative RFR among positive FFR groups (Groupe 3 discordance)
Conclusions
Since the clinical characteristics with HD, PAD, LAD, DM and Hb may influence concordant with FFR during RFR evaluation, it should be considered when interpreting RFR.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Recently, non-hyperemic physiologic indices have become widespread for evaluating physiological lesion assessment. The resting full-cycle ratio (RFR) is a unique non-hyperemic index which is calculated as the point of absolutely lowest distal pressure to aortic pressure during entire cardiac cycle. It is unclear whether RFR may detect functionally significant coronary stenosis that cannot be detected with other resting indices due to differences in the cardiac cycle. The aim of this study is to compare the diagnostic performance of RFR based on cardiac cycle.
Method
This study was a prospectively enrolled observational study. A total of 156 consecutive patients with 220 intermediate lesions were enrolled in this study. The RFR was measured after adequately waiting for stable condition, while FFR was measured after intravenous administration of ATP (180mcg/kg/min). Lesions with FFR ≤0.80 were considered functionally significant coronary artery stenosis.
Results
In all lesions, reference diameter, diameter stenosis, lesion length, RFR, and FFR were 3.0±0.7mm, 45±13%, 13.0±8.8mm, 0.90±0.09, and 0.82±0.10, respectively. Functional significance was observed in 88 lesions (40%) of all lesions. RFR systole was observed in 24 lesions (10.9%). Regarding to the coronary lesions, RFR systole was more frequent in non-LAD (LAD; 4.2%, left circumflex artery (LCX); 9.8%, and right coronary artery (RCA); 30.4%, respectively, p<0.018). RFR showed a significant correlation with FFR in both systole and diastole (R = 0.918, p<0.001, R = 0.733, p<0.001, respectively). The ROC curve analysis showed similar agreement in both systole and diastole (AUC: 0.881, p<0.001, AUC: 0.864, p<0.001, respectively). RFR provided a good diagnostic accuracy and no difference in both systole and diastole (79.6% and 87.5%, respectively, p=0.58).
Conclusion
RFR is feasible and reliable non-hyperemic index regardless of the difference of cardiac cycle to evaluate physiological lesion severity in daily practice.

Abstract
The research in electrochemical reduction of CO2 is shifting towards the discovery of new and novel materials. This study shows a new class of material, that of Ge-S-In chalcogenide glass, to be active for reduction of CO2 in aqueous solutions. Experiments were conducted with bulk and particle form of the material, yielding different product for each structural form. Faradaic efficiency of upto 15% was observed in bulk form for CO production while formic acid with up to 26.1 % faradaic efficiency was measured in powder form. Chalcogenide studies have focused primarily on the photoelectrochemical reduction however these results provide a strong merit for introducing metal in chalcogenide glass structures for electrochemical reduction of CO2. The activity for CO2 reduction and the change in product selectivity reflects that further efforts to improve the glass structures can be undertaken in order to increase the faradaic efficiency and selectivity of the products.

Abstract
UNLABELLED To elucidate mutation spectrum and genotype-phenotype correlations in Japanese patients with OI, we conducted comprehensive genetic analyses using NGS, as this had not been analyzed comprehensively in this patient population. Most mutations were located on COL1A1 and COL1A2. Glycine substitutions in COL1A1 resulted in the severe phenotype. INTRODUCTION Most cases of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) are caused by mutations in COL1A1 or COL1A2, which encode α chains of type I collagen. However, mutations in at least 16 other genes also cause OI. The mutation spectrum in Japanese patients with OI has not been comprehensively analyzed, as it is difficult to identify using classical Sanger sequencing. In this study, we aimed to reveal the mutation spectrum and genotype-phenotype correlations in Japanese patients with OI using next-generation sequencing (NGS). METHODS We designed a capture panel for sequencing 15 candidate OI genes and 19 candidate genes that are associated with bone fragility or Wnt signaling. Using NGS, we examined 53 Japanese patients with OI from unrelated families. RESULTS Pathogenic mutations were detected in 43 out of 53 individuals. All mutations were heterozygous. Among the 43 individuals, 40 variants were identified including 15 novel mutations. We found these mutations in COL1A1 (n = 30, 69.8%), COL1A2 (n = 12, 27.9%), and IFITM5 (n = 1, 2.3%). Patients with glycine substitution on COL1A1 had a higher frequency of fractures and were more severely short-statured. Although no significant genotype-phenotype correlation was observed for bone mineral density, the trabecular bone score was significantly lower in patients with glycine substitutions. CONCLUSION We identified pathogenic mutations in 81% of our Japanese patients with OI. Most mutations were located on COL1A1 and COL1A2. This study revealed that glycine substitutions on COL1A1 resulted in the severe phenotype among Japanese patients with OI.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Triglyceride deposit cardiomyovasculopathy (TGCV) is a novel clinical concept found among Japanese cardiac transplant recipients in 2008 that the abnormal intracellular triglyceride (TG) metabolism results in the ectopic accumulation of TG in vascular smooth muscle cells and cardiomyocytes, leading to diffuse narrowing coronary artery disease (CAD) and heart failure. TGCV is estimated to affect almost forty to fifty-thousand people in Japan, but there is no real-world date about the prevalence or latency.
Purpose
To evaluate TGCV latency in population with CAD, especially requiring urgent coronary angiography as Study 1, and chronic hemodialysis as Study 2.
Methods
This is multicenter retrospective estimation consisting of two studies.
Study 1) From 2012 to 2017, consecutive 400 patients of unstable angina or acute myocardial infarction who underwent urgent coronary angiography (CAG) and following iodine-123-β-methyliodophenyl-pentadecanoic acid (BMIPP) scintigraphy, a tracer for the diagnosis of TGCV, were enrolled.
Study 2) From 2011 to 2017, 88 chronic hemodialysis patients who underwent planed CAG and BMIPP scintigraphy for detection of ischemic heart disease were enrolled.
TGCV was diagnosed based on the latest diagnostic criteria for TGCV. The criteria include two major items (2 points each: BMIPP scintigraphy Wash-Out Rare <10%, Diffuse narrowing coronary arteries) and two minor items (1 point each: Jordans' anomaly in peripheral blood smear, Diabetes). Four points or more and three points indicated definite and probable TGCV, respectively. Only Items other than Jordans' anomaly were available for the diagnosis of TGCV because of retrospective nature. We evaluated the latent rate of definite and probable TGCV.
Results
Study 1) Figure (left) demonstrates the result of Study 1. Definitive TGCV patients were 14 patients, accounting for 3.5% of total 400 patients, and probable TGCV patients were 39 patients, accounting for 9.8% of all. Total 53 definitive and probable TGCV patients accounted for 13.3% of all. Annual average latency were 3.6±1.7% as definitive, 10.0±5.5% as probable and 13.6±6.6% as definitive and probable TGCV, respectively.
Study 2) Figure (right) demonstrates the result of Study 2. Definitive TGCV patients were 17 patients, accounting for 19.3% of total 88 hemodialysis patients, and probable TGCV patients were 22 patients, accounting for 25.0% of all. Total 39 definitive and probable TGCV patients accounted for 44.3% of all. Annual average latency of definitive TGCV was 19.3±13.4%. Of the 17 definitive TGCV patients, 9 patients were hemodialysis patients with diabetes.
Figure 1
Conclusions
TGCV might be latent with a probability of 3.6±1.7% per year in patients with unstable angina or acute myocardial infarction, and with a probability of 19.3±13.4% per year in chronic hemodialysis patients suspected of ischemic heart disease.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Triglyceride deposit cardiomyovasculopathy (TGCV) is a novel disease concept characterized by the excessive accumulation of triglyceride in cardiomyocytes and vascular smooth muscle cells, leading to coronary artery disease (CAD), heart failure, and arrhythmia. However, it is rarely known whether TGCV contributes to the increased risk of vascular failure after drug eluting stent (DES) implantation.
Purpose
The aim of this study was to evaluate vascular failure after 2nd generation DES implantation in patients with TGCV.
Methods
Among 637 consecutive patients suspected of having CAD who underwent both coronary angiography and iodine-123-β-methyliodophenyl-pentadecanoic acid (BMIPP) scintigraphy between 2010 and 2018, we analyzed the data from 92 patients who met the inclusion criteria (shown in Table and Figure). Ninety-two patients were allocated to the presence (TGCV group, 11 patients) or absence (control group, 81 patients) of TGCV. All of 92 patients were implanted 2nd generation DES and underwent planned follow up coronary angiography. Control patients were diagnosed of diabetes mellitus. Binary restenosis (ISR), defined as angiographic luminal diameter ≥50% by quantitative coronary angiography, target lesion revascularization (TLR), In-stent late loss and restenosis morphology were assessed in 23 stents of TGCV group and 120 stents of control group.
Results
There were no significant differences in baseline characteristics between the two groups except for the prevalence of hypertension. In-stent late loss was greater in TGCV than in control (0.45 (−0.04 to 3.33) vs. 0.15 (−0.18 to 2.75), p=0.ehz748.10067), resulting in greater incidence of ISR and TLR in TGCV than in control (34.8% vs. 10.0%, p=0.0017; 21.7% vs. 6.7%, p=0.021, respectively). On multivariable logistic regression analysis, TGCV was found to be a significant and independent predictor for ISR after 2nd generation DES implantation. Regarding restenosis morphology, diffuse and occlusive pattern of ISR, were more frequently observed in TGCV than control (87.5% and 33.3%, Fisher's exact test p=0.028).
Table 1.The 4th edition diagnostic criteria for TGCV Items Clinical findings 2 points I) BMIPP scintigraphy Wash-Out Rare <10% II) Diffuse narrowng coronary arteries 1 point III) Jordans anomaly in peripheral blood smear IV) Diabetes Decision 4 points or more → Definite TGCV

Conclusion
Patients with TGCV showed the greater incidence of vascular failure even after 2nd generation DES implantation, contributing to the novel risk factor for coronary intervention even in the 2nd DES era.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Although fractional flow reserve (FFR) is a gold standard method to evaluate functional lesion severity in the catheterization laboratory, the need of hyperemic condition limits the widespread adoption of FFR. Recently, the resting full-cycle ratio (RFR) which was newly developed resting indices was launched. It is unclear whether RFR as resting condition could assess physiological lesion severity of coronary artery stenosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic impact of RFR compared to FFR in entire range of coronary artery stenosis.
Method
A total of 53 patients with 70 lesions were enrolled in this study. The RFR was measured after adequately waiting for stable condition, while FFR was measured after intravenous administration of ATP (180mcg/kg/min). Lesions with FFR ≤0.80 were considered functionally significant coronary artery stenosis.
Results
In all lesions, reference diameter, diameter stenosis, lesion length, RFR, and FFR were 3.3±0.8mm, 44±12%, 14.6±7.2mm, 0.90±0.11, and 0.83±0.11, respectively. Functional significance was observed in 24 lesions (34%) of all lesions. The RFR showed a significant correlation with FFR (y = 0.800x + 0.239, R = 0.817, p<0.001). The Bland-Altman plot demonstrated a good agreement with a mean difference of 0.07 and a standard deviation of 0.06 between RFR and FFR across entire range of coronary artery stenosis. ROC curve analysis showed an excellent accuracy of RFR cut-off of ≤0.90 in predicting FFR ≤0.80 which had 78% sensitivity and 87% specificity (AUC 0.87, diagnostic accuracy 84%).
Conclusion
The RFR as newly resting indices is reliable to the assessment of functional lesion severity. This physiology-based approach may be a possible alternative method for FFR measurements in daily practice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The pathophysiology of aldosterone-producing adenomas (APAs) has been intensively investigated using genetic and epigenetic approaches. However, the role of miRNAs in APA is not fully understood. The present study profiled miRNAs in APAs as an exploratory approach to elucidate their pathophysiological roles in APAs. DESIGN Tissues of APAs and other adrenocortical adenomas were obtained from patients who underwent adrenalectomy. METHODS Candidate miRNAs differentially detected from samples were examined by whole miRNA sequencing. The expression of candidate miRNAs in APA tissues were further validated by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Further, differential miRNA expression between APAs with and without KCNJ5 somatic mutations was examined. Prediction of miRNA target genes was performed by bioinformatics analysis. For specific miRNAs, correlation analysis between the levels of their target genes and CYP11B2 was analyzed in APA tissues. RESULTS Our study determined differential expression of six miRNAs in APA or APA with KCNJ5 mutations. We further demonstrated that miR299 levels were negatively correlated with mRNA levels of CACNB2, which encodes the beta-subunit of the L-type calcium channel. Additionally, we found significant correlations among miR299, CACNB2, and CYP11B2 levels in APA tissues. CONCLUSIONS Our study suggests the possible pathophysiological involvement of specific miRNAs in calcium signaling and aldosterone hypersecretion in APAs. Further studies, including in vitro analyses, are required to clarify these findings.

Abstract
Since the conventional coherent transceiver is costly to be deployed in short-reach networks due to its complicated receiver structure, it is desired to simplify the structure itself. In this paper, we propose a simple polarization-diversity coherent receiver structure by exploiting the concept of the Stokes analyzer. Compared to the conventional architecture, the number of the photodiodes (PDs) is reduced from eight to six without relying on complicated analog circuits. In addition, splitters and combiners for dual-polarization (DP) signals can be replaced with only one polarization beam splitter or combiner (PBS/C). For evaluation of the proof-of-concept (PoC), we developed a prototype of the receiver using free-space optical components. We demonstrate the transmission of 120-Gb/s DP quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK) and DP 8-ary quadrature-amplitude modulation (8QAM) signals over a 100-km single-mode fiber (SMF). We believe that the demonstrated architecture could potentially be integrated monolithically on silicon-photonic or InP platforms to realize compact and low-cost coherent transceivers for short-reach applications.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: In 2013, the ASCO/CAP consensus panel published updated guidelines for HER2 testing in breast cancer that modified the definition of HER2 amplification by in situ hybridization (ISH), creating five new prognostic categories (group 1: classic amplified, group 2: monosomy, group 3: co-amplified (polysomy), group 4: equivocal, and group 5: classic non-amplified). Patients determined to be ISH amplified, were considered eligible for HER2-directed therapy. Concern over whether patients from non-classic groups 2-4 would benefit from treatment has led to the recent publication of the 2018 HER2 focused update. This update has modified the criteria for interpreting these ISH categories, recommending that the final diagnosis take into consideration a combination of HER2 immunohistochemistry (IHC) and ISH results. With increased emphasis on the HER2 protein assessment, it has prompted us to quantitatively examine HER2 protein expression in the ISH categories, using two different novel technologies. Materials & Methods: A cohort of 170 cases (URMC) and 102 cases (PSHMC) of invasive breast cancers, which had previously undergone HER2 IHC and ISH testing, were selected for this study. Cases were sorted and categorized into the HER2 ISH categories defined by ASCO/CAP. HER2 protein expression was quantitatively measured in the URMC and PSHMC cohorts using a novel immunodetection methodology (streptavidin-coated Phosphor-Integrated Dot (PID) fluorescent nanoparticles), and a novel dual-antibody, proximity-binding immunoassay (HERmark® Breast Cancer Assay, Monogram Biosciences, South San Francisco, California), respectively. HER2 protein expression was compared to the HER2 FISH and IHC results by ASCO/CAP category. Results: Cases in group 1 had a significantly (p < 0.01) higher average PID/cell and HERmark compared to cases in groups 2-5 (Table 1). Cases in groups 2-4 showed lower quantitative levels of HER2 protein expression, similar to the classic non-amplified cases (group 5). Group 1 was further divided into three subgroups (Table 2): Group A - ISH high-level amplified (ratio > 2, HER2 > 6, CEP17 < 2.7), Group B - amplified with elevated CEP17 (ratio > 2, CEP17 > 2.7), and Group C - low-level amplified (ratio > 2, HER2 > 4 and < 6). Group A and B had a significantly (p < 0.01) higher average PID/cell and HERmark compared to Group C. Group C was more comparable to cases in groups 2-5 (Table 1). Conclusion: Our results suggest that quantitative assessment of HER2 protein expression may help to further classify cases for HER2 status for targeted therapy, supporting the 2018 ASCO/CAP recommendation that non-classic ISH results might be resolved by evaluating protein expression. Follow up studies with a larger patient cohort and dual quantitative assessment are warranted.
